Tele-based continuous care and treatment compliance in dialysis patients with and without depression: the serial mediating effect of nurse-patient relationship and health belief.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundEnd-stage renal disease (ESRD) accompanied by depression is a rapidly increasing global healthcare burden, and the use of tele-based continuous care to improve depression and treatment compliance in dialysis patients has become a common medical practice. This article examines how tele-based continuous care affects treatment compliance in ESRD patients with and without depression.
methodsParticipants satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria were recruited from the nephrology departments and dialysis units of 15 tertiary, A-grade hospitals in Anhui Province, China, from October to December 2023. A final total of 549 patients completed a valid follow-up survey. Covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) was used for path analysis between variables, testing the mediating effects of the nurse-patient relationship and health belief. Additionally, a multi-group comparison was used to analyze the difference between the groups with and without depression.
resultsPath analyses suggest a significant positive association between tele-based continuous care and treatment compliance in dialysis patients (β = 0.147; p < 0.001). The effect of the nurse-patient relationship on the treatment compliance of dialysis patients proved to be insignificant (β = 0.059; p = 0.498). The effect of tele-based continuous care on compliance in the depression group occurs only through health belief (β = 0.220; p = 0.006). While the effect of tele-based continuous care on compliance in the non-depression group all exist except through nurse-patient relationship (β = 0.006; p = 0.879).
conclusionsThis study validated the effect of tele-based continuous care on treatment compliance in dialysis patients and examined compliance outcomes in dialysis patients with and without depression. The results of this study can support the improvement of the tele-based continuous care system and the improvement of treatment compliance with depressed dialysis patients.
